Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How does one know that a certain sin is a major sin?
Answer:
Major sins have specific criteria. Every sin for which a fixed punishment (hadd) is prescribed is a major sin, and every sin for which a threat of curse, anger, or the Fire in the Hereafter is issued is a major sin.
